1. What inspired you to start this organization and movement? The women of my family who shown me the importance of loving and protecting and encouraging women day to day men are here to protect women and make sure the women are thriving to her best potential not to discourage her nor block her from succeeding to the next level.

2. What is the biggest obstacle you have had to overcome? The biggest obstacle was being misunderstood when ever a man of color with substance tries to do good their always comes with negative energy that tries to come out of no where!

3. You have some big names performing at your event. What will the proceeds go toward? The purpose of our event is to raise funds and buy a building or rent a space for our organization which will help provide computers event space for the arts of musicians and artists.

4. What is the mission of your organization? Is to help women and children and even men through arrangements Music and business owners to encourage bring awareness and most important taking a stand against Domestic violence and Rape!!!

5. What do you hope to teach others and want your movement to inspire? I want to teach that no matter what you do in life always kill people with love and push through life as if it’s your last and also as if it’s your beginning/ start.

“Women Of Empowerment, Beauty Meets Strength” on May 18th, 2019 at the National Black Theatre.

The event is giving independent artists a chance to display their talents, many of which get overlooked in the oversaturated music industry. Many artists really struggle trying to make it in the industry making many sacrifices and remaining unnoticed. The event gives arists the opportunity to open for legendary MC’s Black Rob and Rah Digga and get their chance to shine. The independent artists that will be performing are Svb Zero, Jpree, Eli, Prince Jay,  Sir Gregolas, Gq Blanco, Kyza Bandz, Libra Queen, La Cotto Morice, King Chino, Benjamin and  Adam O-Man  from the Discipline and Honor Music Group movement.

 The event will be hosted by Carmen B. and is produced by Elijah Harmon and Tye Brown assist coordinated by:

 Ironia Ellison – Patrice Forbes – Camille Richards – Rashawn Lassiter – Terrell Hodges!

The historic National Black Theatre  was founded in 1968 in the heart of Harlem by the late Dr. Barbara Ann Teer, an award winning, visionary artist and entrepreneur. With a distinguished history of innovative work in its community, NBT is among the oldest Black Theaters in the country, and amongst the longest owned and operated by a woman of color.

The event is to raise funds for WOEM to achieve the following goals:

• Purchasing their first venue location or rental location

• Budget for feeding women and children, especially young teen parents

• Budget for intimate Fashion shows, HIP HOP, R&B and Latin events

• Budget for health awareness education materials towards women and children

• Budget for women, children and women circle meetings

Budget for promotional stickers, hats, posters, T-shirts and online promotional commercials marketing materials

Elijah Harmon and Tye Brown want to make a positive change in the world as warriors in a battle within our communities to advocate for education and safety awareness. They believe in uplifting women because it takes a village to raise our children, and with our women being uplifted, the future (our children) will have a better chance surviving the stressors of today.

THE WOEM are advocates for the uplifting of women of all hues in our community. The organization annually supports the walk for Cancer, and HIV/AIDS Awareness. They have done many charity events which feed the homeless and provided clothing for people in need. Their mission is to help women and children living in shelters.  They are against the maltreatment of women, including rape, verbal, physical and mental abuse. Their goal is to elevate the minds of communities mentally and physically, through live music and entertainment, in hopes of doing more as their organization grows. 

WOEM would like to add congrsts to Ms. Patrice Forbes for starting her own cupcake business and volunteer work as event coordinator with WOEM, and congrats to Ms. Debra Coco for her new career as a reporter, congrats to Ms.Tye Brown for a great job as a leader/co-producer for WOEM events and a bigger shout out to the first lady Queen Bellkeys Harmon, Elijah’s mother who inspired him to be the man he is today!
